Not Zep, but...

I've just come in from a concert at Warrington's Parr Hall.

Saving Grace, and the name of one of their singers is.... Robert Plant. They were SUPERB. Not a second of Zep or Plant solo output. Just reworkings of 60/70/80 year old folk/blues/Americana. I have no interest in those genres, but I went with an open mind. BRILLIANT. Plant oozes stage presence and still holds a tune brilliantly. "His" band were fantastic, too. A GREAT night.

If they're local to you, go and see them. You won't be disappointed

I take it you mean that they were influenced by some blues masters in the early days?

Or did he once steal a Mars bar from a corner shop in Dudley on his way home from school?

He may well of Stole a Mars Bar he certainly wouldn't have come up with a recipe of his own;-) but no they weren't just influenced by some blues masters they stole their work and even admitted it. Hence the perfectly acceptable word thief.
